Howdy from Montana!
Hey Keystone Fam!
Just got home from the dealership and excited for my first foray into travel trailer living! Next week I'll pick up a 2021 Hideout 177rd.
I've lived on a sailboat and a houseboat, and I'm excited to give landboating a try! I'll be a full-timer up here in Columbia Falls, Montana just outside Glacier National Park. I spent the last few months researching my options and all the ins and outs of RV life and my top takeaway is that the learning is ongoing 
Thanks so much for all the wisdom I've already gleaned from your posts (12 pages of notes so far). There's obviously so much insight and heart in this forum and I feel grateful to join in on the fun.

Welcome the forum and congrats on your new trailer! If you've been following the forum you know there are lots of helpful, knowledgeable folks here wanting you help you with any questions you may have.
Boats and RVs are alternative types of lifestyles but they are very different with different requirements. Assess what/where you are and fire away with questions, lots of folks wanting and willing to help.

Welcome aboard! Many of us here have some experience in both worlds, some more than others. Don't be shy, the only "dumb question" is the one you don't ask.

Welcome from the frozen north okay, not really it's very nice here today and all the snow has melted. We're in Southern Alberta sometimes referred to as northern Montana about 1hr N of the border. Lot's of good advice and humour on here. We are really looking forward to the border opening hopefully soon. Some of our favourite Montana areas are Kallispell and the Flathead lake especially Polson and we enjoy Missoula and pretty much all of the state. Enjoy!!
